Just because it's your child doesn't mean you get to provide open heart surgery. There's some fat gray line between what a parent can do medically and what they can't. Hacking an insulin pump feels like it is over the line, but I'm not sure. If my child was on track to lose a leg and their kidneys in the next few years and their doctors told me nothing more could be done, and I was an AI expert who educated myself on the domain, I'd expect people to stay the hell out of my way.

You can still use AI or other advanced statistics to program dose sizes and timing. Semi-closed control "dumb" programmable pump, that is. Human is in the loop, it is not realtime so potentially worse... Or not. Few and predictable failure modes.
